Does anyone happen to know what the rules are for caucusing if you’re planning to move to a different precinct? My intuition is that I could caucus but not become a delegate. I’ve looked around for a rule about this but haven’t been successful in finding it

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.
But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

Deleted a less vague post but an invitation to fact check - is this a trusted source? Do I know the person who posted this? Do we have any mutuals?
If I believe the info is correct, is there a way to verify it with a trusted or more familiar source before sharing?

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social please, friends, stop the targeted fare enforcement right now on BRT. I have seen several instances of people terrified thinking agents are feds. Our neighbors are anxious, confused, & afraid every time they step out the door. Please stop adding to it—please.

As folks protest, remember that kettling (surrounding & detaining groups) is a thing. Consider your personal risk level & preparedness (meds, when last ate, etc) before joining a group on a bridge, on a highway, or in a tunnel.

A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

Or even a good means of political communication. I feel like microblogging gives the delusion that you have a direct line of communication with the decision makers, when really you do not at all. It all gives the vibe of “I posted at the Dems so hard why aren’t they listening to me?”

I went to the new Dreamstate Cafe in the old Common Roots spot today & had a really nice time. Cute spot, great food, good daily happy hour. Highly recommend! Would love to see them busy & sticking around a long time.
